Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

A very fine pair of candlesticks in chiseled, patinated, and gilded bronze. The shaft is formed by stylized rays supporting a sphere encircled by a band adorned with four zodiac signs: Libra, Capricorn, Aries, and Scorpio.

The whole is surmounted by a Zephyr blowing clouds, the latter forming the bobeche.

A round base adorned with a central star and thunderbolts.

Claude Galle delivered a similar model in 1805 for the Château de Fontainebleau, for the Empress's second salon.

See: J.P. Samoyault, Pendules et bronzes d'ameublement entras sous le Premier Empire, Musée national du château de Fontainebleau, 1989, p. 40.

Beautifully preserved, original gilding.

Empire-Consulate period.
